Newbie-ish from from Oregon

[Thomas Subias]

Hello and Happy 2019 everyone (well, a few minutes out still for us Pacific folk)! 

I've been on the site for a bit now, and figured I'm overdue for a newbie post. 

My wife and I live in Eugene, Oregon and are starting on our real estate journey. Our goal with real estate is the freedom to spend our time how we choose. And our starting strategy is buy & hold rentals: we're considering SF and small MF at the moment. The next step will likely be trading up to large MF. Target properties are 2-3bd, we're looking local/near-local to get our feet wet.

Anyway, thanks for the read, say hi if you want. We're always looking for connections, pms welcome. Best wishes all!
